We have a resident who received blood transfusion in the hospital, within 14 days from ARD. This was documented in the transfer summary which was signed by MD. Can we code blood transfusion in Section P even if we don't have the actual MAR with nurses' signature (what we have is only transfer summary with MD signature)indicating that BT was given?
